No frills rest spot
This spot has 5 sites to camp at . 2 sit literally feet off the road & 3 sit further back . The sites are very small & there is no privacy. On this day , someone was using 2 of the better sites at once to accommodate their oversized travel trailer. Not cool. We have a travel trailer too but our only other option was a site right off the road . Since we were just passing thru, we desperately needed to rest for the night so we camped in one of the wide open spots right off the road. Kind of a bummer , especially for 18 dollars. Small patch of dead grass with a picnic table & fire ring with a lot of road noise. On the plus side- there is a lovely creek that runs along the area . Maybe it’s a better experience if you can snag one of the more set back spots in the trees & if you fish .
Quiet camp with good fishing
Monture Creek Fishing Access site is a nice small campground/fishing access site with five campsites. Two just off of Hwy 200 and three more back away from the highway. Monture Creek has good trout fishing with the creek being only about 100 feet from the campsites. One vault toilet serves the fishing access and camping area. Each campsite has a picnic table and metal fire ring. Sites 1, 2 and 3 sit far enough back that the large pine trees do a pretty good job of blocking most of the highway noise. Like all the fishing access sites with camping in the state, the nightly rate is based on if you have a fishing license and are a Montana resident or not. This is a trash-in, trash-out site and no water is available so come prepared.

Fishing & Quiet
There's not really any views here due to the trees, but there's amenities and fishing nearby! There's fire pits, and there was only one other party of people there when we went in August, so it was perfectly quiet for us. I remember there being some flies, but nothing too bad.
